The holiday season can be a time to showcase your home as you welcome your friends and family. But after many months of working, school activities, and day-to-day living, your home may be less than guest-ready. Consider a few fun and creative ways to upgrade to your home for the holidays! The holiday season can be a great time to make a few home improvements to your home. But it doesn’t mean you have to conquer the biggest projects that can cause an even bigger mess. Instead, let’s focus on a few small fixes, maintenance items, and upgrades to your home as you welcome the holiday season inside. Stock the Guest Bathroom Check out the toilet paper holders and the towel hooks and rods – make sure they are secure or consider upgrading the bathroom fixtures. Stock the guest bathroom (and all bathrooms) with ample hand towels, toilet paper, toiletries, air fresheners and other items that make your guests feel welcome and saves you time restocking during a busy holiday season. For more pizzazz, consider upgrading your bathroom sink, vanity or faucet. Toilets and tubs are on sale this winter. For a modest investment, you have a budget friendly upgrade to your guest bathroom. Create an Eye-catching Entryway Let’s face it, the front entry of your home is the first impression. Start with cleaning all around the entrance, check the door hardware and consider a new doorknob. Next, how is the door paint? Maybe it is time to apply a fresh coat of paint on your front door for the holidays. Be sure to use exterior paint for your front door. Even better, a new door can be waiting for a new home – Fountain has a huge supply of exterior doors, and one that stands out is the timeless steel 6 panel window Craftsman style front door (like the one pictured above!). Freshen Walls in Your High-Use Rooms During the holiday season, your guests will congregate before, during, and after a celebration dinner. Depending on the layout and design of your home, your holiday guests may spend time in the kitchen, dinning area, family room, guest bathroom or powder room, and even wander outside to enjoy your outdoor surroundings. Once you have identified the main entertainment areas, identify one that stands out and consider a fresh coat of paint. Freshening a room with a new coat of paint is inexpensive; and painting a wall can make a nice first impression. Prepare the Outdoor Living Area for Your Holiday Guests Often times we find ourselves outdoors during the holiday season. Be sure to inspect your outdoor living area including your deck. Secure any loose deck boards, tighten the railing and replace any dry or rotten wood deck boards. Fountain’s lumber supply is affordable and offers a huge variety of lumber choices.
